What drying runs into in Derby
Serving Derby and the surrounding area.
Local housing stock
The typical Derby house dates to 1967, with over four fifths of the stock (82.7 percent) built before 1990, so the assemblies that get wet are mostly late 1960s work. Around a median of 1967 with more than eight in ten houses older, the city sits below a dry flood control structure built after the floods of the last century, which passes the river freely until a storm requires it not to.
Climate & seasonal risk
On the 1991–2020 normals, Derby gets 52.03 inches a year with October heaviest at 5, and the drying season runs from a 27.2-degree January to a 72.6-degree July; both figures recorded at ANSONIA 1 NE, 1.7 miles away. October is the wettest month at 5 inches of a 52-inch year and five months average a low below freezing, so the heaviest rain arrives in autumn with tropical remnants; that is the condition the structure upstream was built for.
How water losses tend to end in Derby
- Protection that is invisible in ordinary weather, so it is easy to forget what it is doing
- A design capacity, so there is an event size beyond which it passes everything
- Several watercourses, so one structure does not cover every direction water arrives from
